INTRODUCTION. 


In  presenting  to  the  public,  New-York  as  it  is,  in 
1837,"  in  connection  with  the  Classified  Mercantile  Di- 
rectory, the  Publisher  has  to  acknowledge  the  many  fa- 
vors conferred,  and  the  ready  information  generally  given 
to  make  this  volume  complete.  Encouraged  by  the 
favours  bestowed  on  our  previous  attempts  to  furnish  a 
convenient  Manual  for  Citizens  and  Strangers,  we  were 
induced  to  render  the  preseni  volume,  which  is  the  fourth 
year  of  publication,  still  more  useful,  by  adding  a  general 
Classified  Directory,  which  embraces  all  the  principal 
firms  and  individuals  transacting  Mercantile,  Profes- 
sional, or  Manufacturing  pursuits,  in  New-York,  Brook- 
lyn, &c.,  alphabetically  arranged  under  their  respective 
kinds  of  business. 

Great  care  and  labour  have  been  bestowed  on  this  work 
to  make  it  as  correct  and  complete  as  possible  :  if  errors 
or  omissions  have  occurred,  it  will  be  our  earnest  endea- 
vour to  render  it  still  more  correct  and  useful  in  future 
editions.  Persons  giving  information  of  errors  or  omis- 
sions, will  confer  a  favour  on  the  Publisher. 

From  a  perusal  of  this  volume  it  will  appear,  that 
while  we  are  peculiarly  favoured  by  our  forms  of  go- 
vernment, and  with  institutions  for  the  relief  of  both 
mind  and  body,  under  the  control  of  benevolent  indivi- 
duals, which,  to  be  appreciated,  want  only  to  be  made 
known — it  is  to  be  regretted,  that  we  have  also  mixing  in 
society,  those  who  appear  to  have  no  regard  for  any  thing 
but  their  own  selfish  interests.  Prompted  either  by  pride 


INTRODUCTION. 


or  avarice,  they  by  their  sordid  conduct,  cause  distress  of 
both  mind  and  body  to  thousands  of  their  fellow  beings. 

The  sad  reverse  which  the  City  of  New -York,  and  the 
country  at  large  has  recently  experienced,  owing  to  the 
derangement  of  our  currency,  and  a  too  anxious  desire 
to  accumulate  wealth,  ought  to  teach  us  a  lesson  of  mo- 
deration, and  cause  us,  as  a  people,  to  avoid  a  repetition 
of  such  evils.  Too  long  has  the  unfeeling  usurer,  the 
greedy  speculator,  and  the  selfish  politician  had  the  ascen- 
dancy. Let  the  poor  and  the  middling  classes  of  society, 
return  to  industrious  and  frugal  habits,  and  learn  wisdom 
from  sad  experience. 

With  these  remarks,  the  Publisher  respectfully  sub- 
mits this  volume  to  the  public,  hoping  it  will  be  founi^ 
useful,  and  meet  with  approbation, 

New-York,  May,  1837.

GENERAL  DESCRIPTION 

OF  THE 

CITY  AND  HARBOUU  OP  NEW-YORK* 


SITUATION  AND  EXTENT. 

The  City  of  New- York,  the  commercial  emporium  of 
the  United  States,  is  situated  on  New-York  Island,  for- 
merly called  Manhattan  Island,  (at  the  confluence  of  the 
Hudson  or  North  River,  with  the  strait  called  the  East 
River,  which  connects  Long  Island  Sound  with  the  At- 
lantic Ocean.  It  is  about  equi-distant  (or  less  than  twenty- 
miles)  from  the  western  extremity  cf  Long  Island  Sound 
on  the  north-east,  and  the  Atlantic  Ocean  on  the  south. 
The  City  Hall  is  in  latitude  40  deg.  4*2  min.  40  sec.  north, 
and  longitude  74  deg.  1  min.  8  sec.  west,  from  Greenwich. 
The  City  and  country  are  of  the  same  limits,  comprising 
the  whole  island,  which  extends  from  the  Battery  on 
the  south,  to  Kingsbridge  on  the  north,  13i  miles,  or 
71,700  feet.  The  average  breadth  is  1  mile  and  3,220 
feet,  or  8,500  feet.  The  greatest  breadth  is  on  the  line  of 
88th-street,  and  If  12,200  feet,  or  about  2i  miles.  The 
area  of  the  island  is  about  14,000  acres. 

On  the  north  and  east  it  is  separated  from  Westchester 
County  by  Harlasm  River,  over  which  are  three  bridges, 
namely  Harlsem,  Macomb's,  and  King's  bridges.  The 
tide  flows  through  this  river  or  strait ;  the  western  termi- 
nation of  which,  where  it  connects  with  the  Hudson,  is 
called  Spuyten  DuyveVs  Creek.  The  strait  called  the 
East  River  separates  the  island  from  Long  Island  on  the 
east.  On  the  south  is  the  bay  or  harbour;  and  on  the 
west  is  the  North,  or  Hudson  River  ;  with  the  state  of 
New-Jersey  on  the  opposite  shore.  The  few  small  islands 
in  the  harbour  are  also  attached  to  the  City  ;  the  principal 
of  which  are  Governor's,  Ellis',  and  Bedlow's  Islands; 
also,  Blackwell's  Island,  in  the  East  River,  occupied  by 
the  City  Penitentiary  establishment,  and  Great  Barn 
Island,  near  Hell  Gate.

DESCRIPTION  OP  THE  CITY  AND  HARBOUR. 


HARBOUR,  &C. 

The  harbour  of  New- York  ic;  safe  and  commodious,  its 
circumference  being  about  25  miles,  and  the  largest  ves- 
sels may  come  up  to  the  wharves  at  the  City.  On  the 
bar,  at  Sandy  Hook,  the  depth  of  water,  at  high  tide,  is 
27  feet,  and  at  low  water  21  feet ;  from  thence  to  the  City 
the  channel  is  from  35  to  50  feet.  The  Light  House  at 
Sandy  Hook  on  the  New- Jersey  shore,  is  distant  18  miles 
from  the  City  ;  and  vessels  frequently  anchor  in  the  outer 
harbour,  or  Raritan  Bay.  The  entrance  to  New-York 
harbour  is  called  "  The  Narrows,"  between  Staten 
Island  on  the  west,  and  Long  Island  on  the  east,  8  miles 
from  the  City.  Sands'  Point  Light  House,  on  Long 
Island,  is  situated  near  the  western  extremity  of  Long 
Island  Sound,  20  miles  N.E.  ofthe  City.  The  harbour  is 
but  seldom  obstructed  with  ice.  The  difference  between 
high  and  low  tides,  at  the  wharves,  averages  about  seven 
feet ;  and  for  the  convenience  of  commerce  several 
steamboats  are  employed  in  towing  ships  to  and  from  sea. 
The  principal  commercial  business  is  transacted  on  the 
east  side  of  the  City ;  the  East  River  being  the  most  con- 
venient and  safe  part  of  the  harbour.  The  width  of  the 
East  River  is  from  one  third  to  one  half  of  a  mile  to  the 
opposite  shore  of  Brooklyn,  Long  Island.  The  Hudson, 
or  North  River,  is  one  mile  in  width  to  Jersey  City,  and 
a  mile  and  a  half  to  Hoboken,  (New  Jersey.) 

FORTIFICATIONS. 

The  principal  fortifications  for  the  defence  ofthe  har- 
bour are  at  the  Narrows,  about  8  miles  from  the  City. 
On  the  eastern,  or  Long  Island  shore,  are  forts  Hamilton 
and  La  Fayette,  the  latter  of  which,  (formerly  called  Fort 
Diamond,)  is  built  on  a  reef  of  rocks,  two  hundred  yards 
from  the  shore,  where  the  former  is  situated,  and  has 
three  tiers  of  guns.  The  strait,  or  Narrows,  is  here  about 
one  third  of  a  mile  in  width,  and  on  the  Staten  Island,  or 
western  shore,  opposite  the  two  fortresses  just  named, 
are  fort  Tompkins  and  fort  Richmond.  The  United 
States  Government  have  expended  large  sums  of  money 
on  thesr;  different  fortifications,  particularly  since  the  last 
war  with  Great  Britain,  and  they  are  now  considered 
amply  sufficient  for  the  defence  of  this  passage  to  the

harbour.  The  principal  fortifications  on  ihe  East  River 
are  at  Throg's  Point,  where  is  situated  Fort  Schuyler. 

There  are  batteries  on  Bedlow's  and  Ellis'  islands,  on 
the  western  side  of  the  harbour ;  and  on  Governor's 
Island,  (which  is  distant  3.200  feet  from  the  City  at  the 
Battery,  and  contains  70  acres,)  are  Fort  Columbus  and 
Castle  Williams.  The  former  is  a  strong  work  in  the 
shape  of  a  star,  on  the  south  side  of  the  Island.  The 
latter  is  on  the  north-west  point  of  the  island,  built  of 
stone,  in  a  circular  form,  60i0  feet  in  circumference,  and 
60  feet  in  height,  with  three  tiers  of  guns.  There  is  also 
a  battery  on  the  south-west  side,  commanding  the  entrance 
through  Buttermilk  Channel.  There  are  barracks  on 
the  island  for  the  accommodation  of  a  considerable  num- 
ber of  soldiers. 

TELEGRAPH. 

A  Telegraph  is  established  on  the  heights  of  Staten 
Island,  communicating  by  signals  with,  one  in  the  City  on 
Holt's  Hotel. 

DIVISIONS  AND  GOVERNMENT. 

The  City  is  divided  into  17  wards,  which  are  particu- 
larly defined  in  another  part  of  this  volume.  Each  ward 
elects  annually  an  Alderman  and  an  Assistant  Alderman, 
who  are  formed  into  a  Common  Council  of  two  boards. 
The  Mavor  is  elected  annually,  in  April,  (agreeably  to 
an  amendment  of  the  constitution,)  by  the  people.

appendages.  The  location  is  remarkably  salubrious  and 
pleasant.  There  are  several  farms  on  Long  Island,  at- 
tached to  the  Alms  House  establishment.

GAS  WORKS. 

THE  NEW-YORK  GAS-LIGHT  COxMPaNY 

Have  their  works  located  at  the  corner  of  Canal  and 
Centre  streets,  and  have  at  present  laid  down,  in  the  prin- 
cipal streets,  26  miles  of  iron  pipes.  The  public  build- 
ings and  stores  which  are  supplied  with  gas  by  this  Com- 
pany, pay  for  the  same  at  the  rate  of  70  cents  per  100  cubic 
feet  consumed.  The  expense  of  gas  for  a  store,  with  four 
lights,  is  about  $60  per  year.  (For  capital,  (fee,  see

NEW-YORK  AND  HARLEM  RAIL-ROAD. 


THE  MANHATTAN  GAS  LIGHT  COMPANY  WORKS 

Are  located  on  the  North  River  at  the  foot  of  Eighteenth- 
street.  This  Company  have  laid  their  main  pipes  through 
Eighteenth-street,  Ninth-avenue,  Hudson,  Bleecker-street, 
Sixth-avenue,  Waverly-place,  Broadway,  Bowery, 
Broome,  Centre,  and  Grand-streets  ;  and  are  now  laying 
them  through  other  important  streets.  (For  capital,  &c. 
see  page  155.) 

NEW-YORK  AND  HARLEM  RAILROAD  COMPANY. 

This  Company  was  incorporated  in  1831,  and  has  since 
been  so  amended  that  its  capital,  originallv  S350,000,  is 
now  SI, 150,000. 

The  route  selected  for  its  road  is  from  Prince-street,  in 
the  Bowery,  through  the  4th  Avenue,  to  Harlsem  River, 
with  a  branch  through  One  hundred  and  Twenty-fifth- 
street  to  Ninth  Avenue,  and  thence  to  the  Hudson  River 
at  Manhattan ville  landing. 

The  first  running  of  the  cars  upon  this  road  was  in 
November,  1832,  and  they  travelled  no  further  than 
Fourteenth-street.  In  June,  1833,  their  route  was  ex- 
tended to  Murray  Hill.  In  May,  1834,  the  loute  was 
further  extended  to  Yorkville,  where  it  has  continued 
ever  since.  The  number  of  passengers  in  the  cars  down 
to  that  date  was  about  125,000.  From  May  to  November, 
1834,  the  number  of  passengers  was  176,000,  and  the  re- 
ceipts from  fare,  S16,000.  From  1st  November,  1834,  to 
1st  November,  1835,  the  number  of  passengers  was  about 
400^000,  and  receipts  from  fare,  837,000.  From  the  1st 
November,  1835,  to  1st  November,  1836,  the  number  of 
passengers  was  about  600,000,  and  the  receipts  of  fare 
something  above  S52,000.  In  the  year  ending  the  1st 
January,  1837,  the  amount  of  fare  was  854,000. 

When  the  route  shall  be  extended  through  the  tunnel 
over  the  beautiful  embankment  and  bridge  constructed  to 
Harlsem,  the  number  of  passengers  will,  probably,  greatly 
increase. 

The  tunnel  commences  at  the  southerly  side  of  Ninety- 
first-street,  and  terminates  at  the  northerly  side  of  Ninety- 
fourth-street,  and  will  be,  when  completed,  844  feet  in 
length,  24  feet  wide,  and  21  feet  high  in  the  centre.  Each 
end  of  the  tunnel  will  be  finished  with  a  handsome  stone 
facing,  so  as  to  give  it  a  conspicuous  and  pleasing  appear- 


SCPPLT  OF  WATER.

ance.  The  embankment  commences  at  One  hundredth- 
street,  and  extends  to  One  hundred  and  sixth-street. 
This  will  be  a  most  substantial  work,  as  the  whole  will  be 
supported  by  slope  walls  of  dry  masonry.  At  the  crossing 
of  the  streets  there  are  handsome  arched  carriage-ways, 
supported  by  stone  pillars.  At  the  northern  termination 
of  the  embankment,  the  bridge  commences,  extending 
from  One  hundred  and  sixth-street  to  One  hundred  and 
eighth-street. 

This  tunnel  is  said  to  be  as  spacious  as  any  other  exca- 
vation of  solid  rock  made  in  modern  times,  not  excepting 
the  excavation  of  the  Simplon,  made  under  the  Emperor 
Napoleon  ;  and  the  approach  to  it  at  both  ends  through  a 
rock,  52  feet  in  depth,  is  an  object  not  less  interesting 
than  the  tunnel  itself. 

There  is  scarcely  to  be  found  a  more  beautiful  and 
picturesque  scenery  in  any  part  of  the  world,  than  the 
view  Hell  Gate  and  its  neighbourhood  presents,  in  riding 
over  the  bridge  and  embanliment  north  of  the  tunnel,  at  an 
elevation  of  thirty  feet  above  the  level  of  the  avenue. 

It  is  expected  that  this  road  will  be  travelled  by  the  cars 
to  Harlaem  sometime  in  the  month  of  July,  1837. 

Passengers'  Ticket  Oihces,  at  No.  241,  Bower}^;  and  at 
the  corner  of  Eighty-sixth-street  and  Fourth  Avenue. 

SUPPLY  OF  Water, 
The  City  is  destitute  of  a  supply  of  good  and  whole- 
some water,  and  various  plans  have  been  proposed,  at 
different  times,  for  obtaining  an  adequate  quantity  of  an 
element  so  essential  to  the  health,  convenience,  and  com- 
fort of  the  citizens.  Th  ^  Bronx  and  Croton  rivers  have 
been  suggested  as  sources  of  supply  ;  also  the  Passaic,  at 
Paterson,  New  Jersey.  The  quantity  of  water  required 
for  the  supply  of  the  City,  is  estimated  at  over  four  mil- 
lions of  gallons  per  day,  or  20  gallons  for  each  person,  in- 
cluding manufactories,  stables,  &c.  At  an  early  period 
of  the  history-  of  the  City,  it  was  found  that  the  well  water 
was  deteriorating  in  goodness.  The  fact  is  noticed  in  an 
able  report  made  by  Mr.  Weston  in  1799.  There  are  nu- 
merous wells,  with  pumps  in  all  parts  of  the  City  ;  but  the 
pump  water  is  generally  considered  bad  and  deleterious  in 
its  character,  south  of  a  line  from  the  Hudson  River 
through  Spring-street,  to  the  Bower}'  and  Third  Avenue,

and  thence  to  Thirteenth-street  and  the  East  River.  In 
the  remaining  parts  of  the  City,  it  is  generally  indif- 
ferently good  ;  but  it  is  also  annually  losing  its  purity. 

For  washing,  rain  water  is  generally  used  by  the  citi- 
zens, most  of  the  houses  being  provided  with  good  cis- 
terns. Many  parts  of  the  City  are  now  supplied  with 
water,  for  the  table,  brought  from  the  upper  wards  in 
casks.  On  the  East  and  North  Rivers,  in  some  instances, 
it  is  pure,  and  in  others  its  goodness  is  but  little  better  than 
the  present  well  water.  The  tables  of  the  wealthy  are 
supplied  from  this  source,  while  the  poorer  classes  have 
to  Tesort  to  such  wells  and  pumps  as  are  in  their  neigh- 
bourhood. It  has  been  ascertained  that  there  are  now 
brought  to  the  City  daily  by  drays  or  water  carts,  600 
hogsheads,  for  which  there  is  paid  one  dollar  and  twenty- 
five  cents  for  each  hogshead,  (or  about  one  cent  per 
gallon,  amounting  to  $750  per  day,  or  $273,750  per  annum, 
for  water  from  that  source.  The  sum  paid  for  water  is 
annually  increasing,  owing  to  wells  and  springs  con- 
stantly losing  their  purity.  Many  of  the  large  hotels  pay 
from  S200  to  450,  annually,  for  water,  and  the  smaller 
classes  of  boarding  and  private  houses  pay  frum  $15  to 
$50,  annually,  for  the  same. 

The  shipping  in  the  port  are  principally  supplied  with 
water  from  Brooklyn,  Long  Island,  and  a  small  quantity 
from  New- Jersey  and  Staten  Island.  The  supply  re- 
quired for  the  shipping  is  estimated,  from  careful  in- 
quiries, to  amount  to  415  hogsheads  per  day,  or  129,850 
hhds.  per  year,  (8,183,895  gallons,)  which  at  31  and  50 
cents  per  hogsheads,  is  $160  per  day,  or  $50,080  paid  per 
year. 

MANHATTAN  WATER  WORKS. 

In  1790  the  Manhattan  Company  v/as  incorporated, 
with  a  view  to  supply  the  City  with  pure  and  wholesome 
water.  The  charter  is  perpetual,  and  the  capital  over 
two  millions  of  dollars,  (see  page  98,)  the  surplus  funds 
being  employed  in  banking. 

CITY  RESERVOIR. 

The  Corporation  of  the  City,  in  order  to  provide  a 
supply  of  water  for  a  part  of  the  City,  for  the  extinguish- 
ment of  fires,  have  recently  caused  the  construction  of  an 


SUPPLY  or  WATER.

extensive  reservoir,  %vhich  is  situated  in  Thirteenth- 
street,  near  the  Bowery. 

The  diameter  of  the  well,  from  which  the  water  is  pro- 
cured, is  16  feet,  its  depth  is  112  feet,  97  of  which  are 
excavated  in  solid  rock  ;  its  bottom  is  62  feet  below  com- 
mon high  tide.  On  the  east  side,  and  within  12  feet  of 
the  bottom  of  the  well,  there  is  a  horizontal  passage,  4 
feet  by  6,  extending  into  the  rock  75  feet ;  and  on  the  west 
side,  a  similar  passage,  75  feet  long,  with  a  branch  25 
feet.  The  object  of  these  excavations  is  to  increase  the 
quantity  of  water,  which  rises  in  the  well  to  within  12 
foot  of  the  surface  of  the  ground,  and  the  whole  contains 
175,170  gallons. 

From  the  well,  the  water  is  raised  by  a  steam  engine 
of  12  horse  power,  into  an  iron  tank  in  a  building  of  an 
octagonal  form.  The  bottom  of  the  tank  is  83i  feet 
above  tide.  It  is  44  feet  in  diameter,  20^  feet  high,  and 
will  contain  233.169  gallons.  From  the  tank  the  water  is 
conducted  into  the  mains  oy  curved  pipes,  of  20  inches 
diameter.  The  total  cost  of  the  works,  exclusive  of 
pipes,  was  842,238  ;  and  the  annual  expense  is  S3, 165. 
From  the  reservoir,  iron  pipes,  from  6  to  12  inches  in 
diameter,  have  been  laid  down  through  many  of  the 
principal  streets,  to  the  extent  of  over  9  miles,  or  47,066 
feet,  at  an  average  expense  of  about  two  dollars  per  foot. 
(The  cost  of  one^ile  mile  of  pipe,  of  12  inches  diameter, 
is  SI  1,245.) 

By  an  experiment  which  has  been  made,  it  is  ascer- 
tained that  water  from  the  City  Reservoir  can  be  thrown 
from  the  fire  plugs  over  the  houses  in  any  of  the  lower 
parts  of  the  City,  or  soutli  of  the  reservoir,  or  in  its  vi- 
cinity. 

PROPOSED  SUPPLY  OF  WaTER  FROM  THE  CROTON  RIVER. 

Surveys  of  routes  and  estimates  of  the  expense  of 
bringing  water  to  the  City  from  the  Croton  River  has 
been  made  by  order  of  the  Corporation.  An  Act  passed 
the  Legislature  of  the  State,  May  2,  1834,  to  provide  for 
supplying  the  City  of  New-York  with  pure  and  whole- 
some water,"  by  which  the  Governor  and  Senate  were 
authorized  to  appoint  five  citizens,  to  be  called  "  Water 
Commissioners,"  who  were  to  examine  and  consider  all 
matters  relating  to  the  subject,  causing  surveys  to  be

made,  and  adopting  such  plans  as  they  might  deem  most 
advantageous.  The  said  Commissioners  have  reported 
in  favour  of  obtaining  vv^ater  from  the  Croton  River, 
which  has  been  approved  of  by  the  Common  Council, 
and  submitted  to  the  voters  of  the  City  at  the  Charter 
election  in  1835  ;  17,330  voted  "  yes,"  "and  5,9G3  no," 
leaving  a  majority  of  11,367  in  favour  of  supplying  the 
City,  as  proposed,  with    pure  a.id  'wholesome  water.''' 

The  stream  which  can  be  brought  to  the  City  in  an 
aqeduct  is  estimated  to  afford  a  daily  supply  of  32  millions 
of  gallons.  The  present  demand  of  the  City  is  probably 
not  more  than  ten  mxillions.  The  total  length  of  the 
aqueduct,  which  it  is  proposed  to  construct  of  mason  work, 
will  be  about  45  miles,  and  the  estimated  expense  (ex- 
clusive of  pipes  in  the  City)  is  about  five  millions  of 
dollars. 

CEMETERIES  AND  MONUMENTS. 

In  1823,  a  law  was  passed  to  prevent  interments  south 
of  Gr^nd- street,  and  a  penalty  of  .i?250  fixed  for  each  vio- 
lation of  the  same. 

Many  of  the  churches  have  burying  grounds  and  vaults 
in  the  upper  part  of  the  City,  belonging  to  congregations 
of  different  denominations.  An  extensive  cemetery  has 
been  laid  out  on  the  Fifth  Avenue,  near  the  three  mile 
stone,  containing  ten  acres  of  ground.  Occasional  inter- 
ments take  place  in  the  vaults  belonging  to  families  at- 
tached to  churches  in  the  lower  part  of  the  City,  the 
friends  of  the  deceased  paying  the  penalty  of  250. 

Among  the  numerous  monuments  in  churches  and 
churchyards,  we  may  name  the  following :  The  monu- 
ment to  Bishop  Hobart,  in  Trinity  Church  ;  to  Thomas 
Addis  Emmet,  (an  obelisk  30  feet  high)  in  Sr.  Paul's 
Churchyard,  v\^here  are  also  the  monuments  to  Major 
General  Montgomery,  and  George  Frederick  Cooke,  the 
celebrated  tragedian.  In  Trinity  Churchyard  is  the 
monument  to  Captain  James  Lawrence,  who  fell  in  the 
contest  between  the  U.  S.  frigate  Chesapeake  and  the 
British  frigate  Shannon,  during  the  last  war.

MAY  DAY,  &C. 


The  usual  time  for  moving  established  by  general 
custom  in  the  City  of  New- York,  is  on  the  first  of  May. 
Tenants  who  intend  vacating  their  premises  are  required 
to  give  the  landlords  notice  the  preceding  quarter  day, 
the  first  of  February ;  then  houses  are  engaged  for  the 
ensuing  year,  to  be  taken  possession  of  the  first  of  May  ; 
rent  generally  payable  quarterly.  To  such  an  extent 
does  this  custom  extend  as  to  be  a  great  evil,  Ma}'- 
Day  being  proverbial  for  confusion,  amounting  to  partial 
suspension  of  business.  If  tenants  would  insist  upon 
leases  for  a  number  of  years,  the  evil,  in  a  measure, 
would  be  remedied. 

Housekeepers  are  required  by  the  laws  of  ihe  Corpo- 
ration to  abate  all  nuisances  about  their  premises  ;  coal, 
ashes,  and  dirt  of  every  description  is  required  to  be 
given  to  carlmen  employed  by  the  City  authorities ; 
chimneys  are  required  to  be  swept  every  month,  or  else 
subject  the  occupant  to  fine  in  case  of  their  taking  fire  ; 
side-walks  must  be  kept  clean  and  unobstructed.  Sca- 
vengers and  chimney-sweepers  are  all  licensed  by  the 
Corporation,  and  have  regular  rates  of  charging  esta- 
blished by  law.

NEW-YORK  UNIVERSITY, 

Situatedbetween  Washington  Place  andWaverly  Place, 
fronts  Washington  Square'towards  the  west,  forming  a 
noble  ornament  to  the  city,  being  built  of  marble,  and 
exhibits  a  specimen  of  the  English  collegiate  style  of  ar- 
chitecture. Frontispiece.) 

This  building  has  just  been  completed,  after  a  labor  of 
several  years;  it  is  one  hundred  feet  wide,  and  one  hun- 
dred and  eighty  feet  long.  In  front  this  oblong  is  di- 
vided into  five  parts — a  central  building,  with  wings 
flanked  by  towers,  one  rising  on  each  of  the  four  corners 
of  the  edifice.  This  central  building  or  Chapel  is  supe- 
rior to  the  rest  in  breadth,  height,  and  character  ;  and 
is  somewhat  similar  to  that  of  King's  College,  Cam- 
bridge, England  ;  a  masterpiece  of  pointed  architecture, 
and  the  model  for  succeeding  ages.  It  is  fifty-five  feet 
broad,  and  eighty-five  feet  deep,  including  the  octangular 
turrets,  one  of  which  rises  at  each  of  the  four  corners. 
The  two  ends  are  gabled,  and  are,  as  well  as  the  sides, 
crowned  with  an  embattled  parapet.  The  Chapel  will 
receive  its  principal  light  from  a  window  in  the  western 
end.  This  window  is  twenty-four  feet  wide,  and  fifty 
high.  It  has  eight  lights  and  two  embattled  transoms. 
The  heads  of  the  lights  are  cinque- foiled  in  a  plain  arch, 
and  the  divisions  above  are  quatre-foiled.  Over  the 
head  of  the  window  is  a  drip-stone,  with  plain  returns. 
From  the  central  building,  or  Chapel,  wings  project  right 
and  left,  and  are  four  stories  in  height,  flanked  by  towers 
of  five,  supported  by  angular  buttresses  of  two  stages, 
running  above  an  embattled  parapet,  and  are  at  the  top 
themselves  embattled.  The  windows  in  the  wings  have 
square  heads,  with  two  lights,  a  plain  transom,  and  the 
upper  division  tre-foiled.  The  heads  of  the  windows 
are  labelled,  and  have  plain  returns.  The  lower  range 
of  windows  is  set  on  a  tablet,  which  serves  as  a  base,  and 
the  two  ranges  above  are  set  on  strings,  which  return 
around  the  turrets,  and  stop  against  the  buttresses.  The 
principal  entrance  is  under  the  great  western  window, 
through  a  richly  moulded  and  deeply  recessed  portal, 
flanked  by  butresses  of  two  stages,  the  Upper  stage  set  di- 
agonally,"^ and  rising  above  an  embattled  parapet.  The 
doors  are  of  oak,  richly  panneled,  and  filled  with  tracery 
of  open  workj  closely  studded  with  bronze.

THE  BURNT  DISTRICT. 
In  the  First  Ward,  bounded  by  Wall-street,  the  East 
River,  Coenties-slip,  and  thence  in  an  irregular  line  to 
the  corner  of  William  and  Wall  streets,  embraces  all  the 
ground  burnt  over  during  the  great  conflagration  of 
Dec.  16  and  17, 1835,  when  about  five  hundred  stores  and 
dwelling-houses  were  destroyed,  many  of  them  of  the  first 
class  of  buildings.  The  public  buildings  destroyed 
were  the  Merchants'  Exchange  and  the  South  Dutch 
Church  ;  the  other  buildings  consumed  were  principally 
wholesale  stores,  which  contained  an  immense  amount 
of  merchandise,  most  of  which  was  burnt,  amounting  in 
all,  including  the  buildings,  to  about  eighteen  millions 
of  dollars. 

This  ground  is  now  nearly  all  rebuilt  on,  most  of  the 
stores  being  occupied,  many  of  which  are  entirely  fire- 
proof, constructed  in  the  most  durable  manner,  princi- 
pally of  brick. 

UNFINISHED  EDIFICES. 

THE  merchants'  EXCHANGE, 

Now  erecting  in  part  on  the  site  of  the  Exchange 
Building,  which  was  destroyed  by  fire  Dec,  17,  1835, 
embraces  all  the  ground  between  Wall,  William,  Ex- 
change-place, and  Hanover-streets,  covering  the  entire 
block. 

The  building,  when  finished,  will  be  of  the  Grecian 
Ionic  st}'le  of  architecture,  the  exterior  of  which  will  be 
constructed  of  blue  Cluincy  granite,  in  the  most  chaste 
and  durable  manner,  three  stories  high,  besides  the  base- 
ment. In  front,  on  Wall-street,  will  be  a  recessed  por- 
tico, with  18  massive  columns,  38  feet  in  height. 

The  interior  will  be  fitted  up  for  a  public  Exchange 
Room,  which  will  be  80  feet  in  diameter,  having  four 
recesses,  making  an  extent  of  100  feet  in  depth  and 
breadth  ;  the  room  is  to  be  80  feet  in  height,  surmounted 
by  a  dome  resting,  in  part,  on  eight  Corinthian  columns 
of  white  marble,  41  feet  high,  and  lighted  by  a  skylight 
25  feet  in  diameter.  There  will  also  be  rooms  for  the 
acco3i-modation  of  public  and  private  offices;  the  whole 
to  be  constructed  so  as  to  be  entirely  fire-proof,  under  the 
superintendence  of  Mr.  Isaiah  Rogers,  the  architect  of 
the  building.

CUSTOM  HOUSE. 

A  new  Custom  House  is  now  erecting  on  the  site  of  the 
old  one,  at  the  corner  of  Wall  and  Nassau  streets,  ex- 
tending to  Pine-street.  The  following  is  a  description  of 
the  contemplated  building. 

The  building  is  to  be  177  feet  long,  and  89  feet  wi^ie  ; 
and  the  form  and  order  of  the  building  to  be  similar  to 
that  of  the  Parthenon  at  Athens.  It  is  to  stand  on  a  base- 
ment story,  ascended  by  nineteen  steps  from  Wall-street, 
and  six  steps  on  Pine-street.  There  are  to  be  eight  Gre- 
cian doric  columns  at  each  front,  and  fifteen  columns  and 
antae  on  each  side  attached  to  the  walls.  There  is  also 
to  be  a  second  row  of  six  smaller  columns  back  of  and 
parallel  with  those  of  the  main  front,  leaving  a  space  of 
ten  feet  between  the  two  rows,  and  nine  feet  between  the 
inner  row  and  the  front  wall  of  the  building.  Back  of 
the  two  extreme  columns  of  lue  inner  row  there  are  to  be 
two  antse,  and  six  antae  attached  to  the  walls  of  the  rear 
front,  leaving  a  space  of  eight  feet  and  a  half  between  the 
columns  and  antae.  There  will  thus  be  twenty-four  out- 
side columns,  five  feet  eight  inches  diameter  at  the  bottom, 
and  thirty-two  feet  high,  including  the  capital,  and  eigh- 
teen antae  on  the  two  sides  of  the  same  height,  five  feet 
wide,  and  three  feet -^ine  inches  projection  from  the  walls. 
The  six  inner  columns  of  the  main  front  will  be  four  feet 
eight  inches  diameter  at  bottom,  and  the  antae  to  corres- 
pond. The  building  is  to  be  two  stories  high,  except  the 
great  business  hall,  part  of  which  is  to  be  vaulted  as  high 
as  the  roof  will  permit,  a^id  its  centre  finished  with  a 
dome  sixty-two  feet  in  diameter.  This  hall  will  occupy 
the  centre  of  the  building,  and  will  be  one  hundred  and 
fifteen  feet  long,  leaving  a  small  vestibule  at  each  end  to 
enter  from.  It  is  to  be  seventy-seven  feet  wide  in  the 
cejUrepart,  which  is  a  circle  of  seventy  feet  in  diameter, 
with  the  length  and  breadth  of  the  room  extending  be- 
yond its  circumference  to  these  dimensions  ;  and  the  four 
parts  so  extended  beyond  the  circle  are  thirty-three  and  a 
naif  feet  wide,  leaving  six  rooms  and  three  circular  stair- 
cases in  the  four  corners,  the  two  largest  rooms  to  be 
twenty-four  by  twenty-one  feet  each,  besides  a  square

staircase  in  the  rear,  and  three  vaults  for  papers  at  the 
two  ends  of  each  vestibule.  The  same  division  of  the 
room  is  made  in  the  second  story.  Nearly  the  same  num- 
ber, shape,  and  sizes  of  rooms  are  had  in  the  basement, 
as  above  in  the  other  stories,  leaving  all  the  area  of  the 
same  shape  and  size  as  the  great  hall  immediately  about 
it ;  with  the  addition  of  sixteen  fluted  doric  columns  to 
support  the  vaulting  and  the  pavement  under  the  dome  of 
the  great  hall. 

HALLS  OF  JUSTICE. 

This  edifice  is  now  in  progress  of  erection,  and  nearly 
completed,  on  an  extensive  scale,  occupying  the  whole 
of  the  block  bounded  by  Leonard,  Elm,  Franklin,  and 
Centre  streets,  (formerly  the  Corporation  Yard,)  and  is 
253  feet  3  inches  in  length,  by  200  feet  5  inches  in  width. 

The  interior  combines  accommodations  for  the  Courts 
of  Sessions,  Police,  Grand  Jury,  House  of  Detention,  Re- 
cords, City  Watch,  District  Attorney,  Sheriff,  Clerk  of 
the  Court,  and  other  officers  belonging  to  the  different 
branches  of  the  Institution,  together  with  the  necessary 
offices  for  cooking,  washing,  watering,  warming,  &c. 
The  whole  designed  by  Mr.  John  Haviland. 

The  four  Facades,  as  w^ell  as  the  entrance  hall,  are 
executed  in  the  Egyptian  style  of  architecture,  with  Hal- 
lowell  granite. 

The  principal  front  has  a  distyle  portico  of  four  co- 
lumns, with  palm-leaved  capitals.  Above  the  capitals 
are  square  dies,  upon  which  rests  the  architrave,  orna- 
mented with  a  large  winged  globe  encircled  by  serpents. 
The  architrave  is  surmounted  by  a  cornice,  composed  of 
a  bold  Scotia,  enriched  with  reeded  Triglyphs  and  a 
banded  Torus ;  and  which,  being  of  the  same  height 
with  that  of  the  similarly  embellished  win^s,  forms  with 
them  one  continued  line.  Moreover,  the  banded  mould- 
ing of  the  cornice  descends  in  the  form  of  a  roller  on  all 
the  external  angles  of  the  edifice.  Both  the  wings  are 
perforated  with  five  lofty  windows,  extending  the  height 
of  two  stories,  and  finished  with  diminished  pilasters, 
which  support  a  cornice  over  each,  composed  simply  of 
a  bold  Scotia,  enriched  with  a  winged  globe  and  serpents. 
The  lateral  fronts  on  Leonard  and  Franklin  streets 
have  each  two  projecting  Pylones  or  Porches,  v/ith  two 


RECENT  IMPROVEMENTS, 


25 


columns  :  the  one  on  Leonard- street  adjoining  the  prin- 
cipal front,  is  the  entrance  to  the  Debtors'  ward,  and  the 
opposite  one  on  Franklin-street  is  the  entrance  to  the 
Police  ward  ;  the  other  two  corresponding  porches  next 
to  Elm-street,  form  the  carriage  entrances  to  the  House  of 
Detention.  These  porches  are  54  feet  wide,  and  their 
columns  and  entablatures  correspond  with  those  of  the 
principal  front,  but  the  caps  and  shafts  of  the  columns  are 
less  enriched.  The  recess  in  both  these  lateral  fronts  is 
six  feet,  and  is  relieved  by  five  windows  corresponding 
in  character  with  those  of  the  principal  front,  but  of  less 
proportion  and  enrichment,  the  Scotia  being  finished  with 
reeded  Triglyphs  only,  instead  of  the  winged  glebe  and 
serpents.  The  approach  to  the  windows  on  these  fronts 
is  guarded  against  by  a  neat  railing  in  keeping  with  the 
architecture.  The  rear  or  front  on  Elm-street  having  no 
entrance  or  windows,  is  simply  relieved  by  seven  narrow 
recesses  in  imitation  of  embrasures,  and  a  railing  in  the 
same  style  as  those  on  the  lateral  fronts. 

A  terrace  surrounds  the  whole  inclosure,  raised  ten 
feet  above  the  level  of  Centre-street,  from  which  you 
ascend  eight  steps  of  a  truncated  and  pyramidal  form,  to 
the  platform  of  the  portico,  from  which  you  ascend  also 
twelve  steps,  between  the  intercolumniation  of  the  rear 
columns  to  the  entrance  hall.  This  hall  is  50  feet  square 
and  25  feet  high,  Svpported  by  eight  columns,  ranged  be- 
tween two  rows  with  their  antse  placed  on  the  opposite 
walls.  These  columns  bear  the  character  or  an  order 
taken  from  the  colonnade  of  the  temple  of  Medynet 
Abou.  Attached  to  the  antes  opposite  these  columns, 
the  architect  originally  designed  to  place  the  Eg}^ptian 
caviatides,  so  highly  spoken  of  by  the  French  artists  in 
Napoleon's  great  work  on  Egypt,  published  by  Pauc- 
konche  ;  and  he  feels  assured  that  the  Board  will  yet  be 
of  his  opinion,  and  finally  adopt  these  splendid  and  im- 
posing figures  in  this  entrance  hall,  as  nothing  else  will 
be  wanting  to  perfect  the  edifice  ;  their  capitals  are  orna- 
mented with  the  leaves  and  flowers  of  the  Lotus.  The 
floors  are  arched  and  laid  in  mosaic  of  an  Eg}'ptian 
character,  governed  in  form  by  the  compartments  in  the 
ceiling  to  which  each  belongs.

rooms,  are  connected  with,  and  leading  into  the  entrance

hall.  On  the  left  side  are  doors  and  passages  commu- 
nicating with  the  grand  jury  room,  offices  for  register, 
clerk  of  the  court,  district  attorney,  and  sheriff,  debtors' 
ward  and  witness  rooms  ;  and  on  the  right  side  are  dis- 
posed the  magistrates'  offices,  court,  and  witness  rooms,, 
watchmen's  dormitories,  police  court,  officers'  rooms,, 
and  cells  for  nightly  commitments.  The  centre  leads  to 
the  court  of  sessions,  (including  two  jury  rooms,  and  se- 
parate gallery  capable  of  containing  an  audience  ol  300 
persons;)  the  whole  well  ventilated  and  lighted,  and  in  a 
situation  the  least  liable  to  be  disturbed  by  the  noise  of 
the  adjoining  streets. 

The  Court  of  Sessions  is  connected  with  the  House  of 
Detention^  and  has  external  galleries  of  communication 
with  every  part  of  the  building,  indepencfent  of  the  public 
thoroughfares. 

The  House  of  Detention  is  a  distinct  and  isolated  build- 
ing, 142  feet  in  length  by  45  in  width.  It  contains  148 
cells,  divided  into  four  distinct  classes  for  prisoners,  in- 
cluding baths,  and  rooms  for  male  and  female,  white  and 
black,  vagrants.  The  lower  cells  are  6  feel  9  inches 
wide,  11  feet  high,  and  15  feet  long,  diminishing  18 
inches  in  length  in  each  story ;  they  are  provided  with 
cast  iron  water  closets,  hydrant,  water  cock,  ventilators, 
and  are  warmed  by  Perkins'  hot  water  pipes,  (introduced 
and  now  in  successful  operation  in  the  new  Peniten- 
tiaries at  Philadelphia  and  Trenton,  by  J.  Haviland,  ar- 
chitect.) The  floors,  and  ceilings,  and  galleries  are 
formed  of  slabs  from  the  North  River  flagging ;  the  doors 
and  window  jambs  of  iron  j  and  the  entire  cells  are  other- 
wise finished  on  the  most  approved  plan  for  security,  se- 
clusion, ventilation,  economiy  of  supervision  and  watch- 
ing. The  corridors  are  ten  feet  wide  below,  and  widen 
at  each  story  to  19  feet  at  the  summit,  affording  a  free 
ventilation  and  uninterrupted  view  of  every  cell  door, 
from  the  observatory.  A  bridge  leads  across  from  the 
House  of  Detention  to  the  prisoners'  seat  in  the  court- 
house. By  reference  to  the  specifications  and  drawings, 
it  will  be  seen  that  every  part  of  the  building  is  calcu- 
lated to  be  executed  in  the  most  substantial  and  approved 
manner,  with  the  best  materials  of  their  kind  ;  and  that 
no. pains  or  expense  is  spared  to  effect  all  the  desired  ob-

jects  of  the  Institution,  with  the  aid,  experience,  and  best 
talent  that  the  country  affords. 

The  building  is  generally  fire  proof  by  ceilings  and 
floors  of  arched  masonry. 

The  site  on  which  the  building  is  erecting,  is  formed 
of  made  ground,  ever}"  precaution  having  been  used  to 
a^ender  the  foundation  secure  by  the  introduction  of  iron 
ties,  inverted  arches,  and  heavy  timbering.  The  whole 
area  was  excavated  several  feet  below  the  water  level, 
large  timbers  were  placed  together,  and  range  timbers  at 
right  angles  with  these  laid  several  feet  wider  than  the 
respective  walls. 

Lastly,  the  whole  superstructure  to  the  roof  has  been 
erected  during  the  past  season,  afibrding  it  sufficient 
time  to  come  to  its  proper  bearing.  The  several  stories 
of  the  House  of  Detention  with  their  weighty  stone 
floors,  have  been  completed  some  time,  without  showing 
any  appearance  of  cracks  or  partial  settlement. 

BROOKLYN  CITY-HAlyL, 

Now  erecting,  is  situated  at  the  intersection  of  Fulton, 
Court,  and  Joralemon  streets,  occupying  an  entire  block, 
forming  a  scalene  triangle  of  269  feet  on  Fulton-street, 
250  on  Court-street,  and  222  on  Joralemon-street.  The 
exterior  of  the  bu'Ming  is  to  be  constructed  of  marble, 
and  to  have  porticoes  on  the  three  fronts,  with  columns 
36  feet  6  inches  high,  ornamented  with  capitals  of  the 
Grecian  order,  from  the  design  of  the  Tower  of  the  Winds^ 
resting  on  a  pedestal  base,  17  feet  high,  which  when 
finished,  will  be  62  feet  fium  the  ground  to  the  top  of  the 
cornice.  The  angles  are  to  be  surmounted  by  domes, 
and  rising  from  the  centre  of  the  building,  will  be  a 
tower  125  feet  high,  which  will  be  enriched  with  a  cor- 
nice and  entablature,  supported  with  cor}^atides  standing 
on  pedestals.  The  whole  will  have  a  most  splendid  and 
imposing  appearance,  when  finished. 

The  interior  will  be  finished  in  the  most  chaste  and 
durable  style  of  architecture,  calculated  to  accommodate 
the  diflferent  public  offices,  courts,  &c.,  attached  to  the 
City  of  BrookljTi.  The  whole  arrangement  is  under  the 
direction  and  superintendence  of  Mr.  C.  Pollard,  the 
architect  of  the  building.

By  the  last  report  it  appears  that  during  the  year  1836, 
there  have  been  1987  patients  admitted  into  the  hospital 
in  the  city  of  New- York,  who  with  the  189  remaining 
there  on  the  last  day  of  the  year,  1835,  make  2176  per- 
sons who  have  received  the  benefits  of  the  Institution 
during  the  year  last  past;  a  larger  number  than  usual, 
being  175  more  than  in  the  year  preceding,  and  261  more 
than  in  the  year  1834. 

Out  of  this  number  of  2176  patients,  there  have  been 
cured  1503;  relieved  122;  discharged  at  their  own  re- 
request  101 ;  and  as  improper  objects  for  the  Hospital 
15;  there  have  eloped  or  have  been  discharged  as  dis- 
orderly 25;  died  197;  and  there  remained  213  patients

\  LUNATIC  ASYLUM. 

(Connected  with  the  New- York  Hospital.) 
The  Bloomingdale  Asylum  for  the  Insane  is  pleasantly 
situaied  near  the  banks  of  the  Hudson  River,  distant 
seven  miles  from  the  city,  and  has  attached  to  it  forty 
a.cres  of  land,  laid  out  in  gardens,  pleasure  grounds,  gra- 
vel walks,  and  farm  lots,  well  adapted  to  the  unfortunate 
inmates. 

The  building  is  erected  on  one  of  the  most  elevated 


MEDICAL  INSTITUTIONS 


61 


and  healthy  sites  on  the  Island,  and  sufficiently  retired 
for  the  comfort  and  convenience  of  the  patients. 

These  are  under  the  immediate  superintendence  of  a 
skilful  physician,  who  has  devoted  a  number  of  years  to 
this  particular  branch  of  medical  science,  and  has  visit- 
ed the  various  lunatic  establishments  inEngland,  France 
and  Italy;  examining  the  condition  of  the  patients,  and 
inquiring  minutely  into  the  mode  of  treatment  pursued 
therein. 

The  ordinary  affairs  of  the  house  are  managed  by  a 
warden  and  matron,  and  a  suilicient  number  of  kind  and 
careful  nurses,  are  always  ready  to  attend  to  the  wants 
and  comforts  of  the  patients. 

The  whole  establishment  is  under  the  general  direc- 
tion of  a  Committee  taken  from  and  appointed  by  the 
Board  of  Governors  of  the  INew-York  Hospital.  They, 
for  the  information  of  those  who  may  be  desirous  of  en- 
trusting to  the  charge  of  this  institution  such  of  their 
friends  as  they  think  may  be  benefitted  thereby,  embrace 
this  opportunity  of  stating,  that,  in  all  cases,  before  a  pa- 
tient can  be  received  into  the  house,  an  order  for  admis- 
sion must  be  obtained  from  two  magistrates,  who  require 
for  this  purpose,  the  .j.?stimony  of  two  credible  witnesses, 
that  the  insane  person  is  not  fit  to  go  at  large. 

This  order  must  be  presented  to  one  of  the  undersign- 
ed, who  will  arrange  for  the  board  of  the  patient,  the 
price  of  which  varies  according  to  circumstances;  and 
will  then  give  directions  for  his  or  her  reception. 

It  is  particularly  requested  that  those  who  apply  may, 
if  practicable,  come  possessed  with  a  history  of  the  pa- 
tient, and  the  immediate  cause  of  the  disease. 

The  ground  on  which  the  buildings  are  located,  is 
elevated  one  hundred  and  fifty  feet  above  the  Hudson 
River,  and  from  the  cupola  is  a  fine  prospect  of  the 
Island,  the  North  and  East  Rivers,  and  the  adjacent 
country  for  fifty  miles.  The  principal  edifice  is  of 
stone,  three  storses  high,  210  feet  long,  and  60  feet  wide. 
The  cost  of  the  whole  was  over  ^200,000. 

The  numbers  in  the  hospital  report,  given  above,  are 
exclusive  of  the  maniac  patients,  of  whom  121  have  been 
admitted  into  the  Bloomingdale  Asylum,  and,  with  144 
remaining  on  the  31st  December,  1835,  make  265  who

have  received  the  benefit  of  the  Asylum  during  the  past 
year. 

Out  of  the  patients  above  enumerated,  66  have  been 
cured,  26  have  been  discharged  improved,  16  others  at 
the  request  of  their  friends  ;  14  have  died;  one  eloped, 
and  142  remained  in  the  Asylum  at  the  close  of  the  year. 

Two  hundred  persons  can  be  accommodated  at  the 
Asylum.  The  charges  are  from  $2  toSlO  per  week,  for 
board,  &c.  No  free  patients  are  admitted.  Applica- 
tion for  admission  of  lunatics  must  be  made  at  the  New- 
York  Hospital,  Broadway,  where  information  can  also 
be  obtained,  respecting  the  proper  time  and  days,  for 
visiting  this  interesting  Institution.

Academy  the  finest  pictures  by  the  great  masters;  and 
to  collect  casts  from  antique  statues,  and  other  pieces  of 
sculpture;  which,  with  the  additions  since  made,  form 
the  most  valuable  collection  of  sculpture  in  the  United 
States.  Napoleon,  while  First  Consul,  presented  Mr. 
Livingston,  our  ambassador  to  France,  with  a  precious 
collection  of  casts,  engravings,  &c.,  for  this  Institution, 
which  may  be  seen  by  the  public  during  the  season  ol

three  months;  at  other  times,  the  rooms  of  the  Academy 
are  generally  open  for  the  exhibition  of  paintings  of  a 
high  order  of  merit. 

NATIONAL  ACADEMY  OF  DESIGN, 
(In  Clinton  Hall.) 

Instituted  in  1826,  by  artists  professing  the  four  arts  of 
design,  viz. — Painting,  Sculpture,  Architectuie,  and  En- 
graving. This  Academy  is  the  only  Academy  of  De- 
sign in  the  United  States,  being  founded  on  the  same  ge- 
neral principles  as  Academies  of  Design  throughout  the 
civilized  world. 

The  Academic  body  consists  of  twenty-six  Academi- 
cians, who  are  professional  artists,  and  who  may  in- 
crease their  numbers  to  fifty,  chosen  from  a  body  of 
Associates.  A  body  of  Honorary  Members,  to  whom 
are  granted  liberal  privileges,  are  attached  to  the  Insti- 
tution. 

Schools  are  established,  and  in  progress  of  establish- 
ment, similar  to  those  in  Europe,  where  are  taught 
drawing  from  the  antique,  and  from  the  living  model. 
A  school  of  ornament  is  about  to  be  commenced.  Pre- 
miums are  given  annually  to  the  successful  candidates 
among  the  students.  A  fine  collection  of  casts  from  the 
antique  statues  belongs  to  the  Academy;  among  which 
are  the  Farnese  Hercules,  and  the  Antinous  of  the  Bra- 
schi  palace,  both  of  colossal  size,  the  only  casts  of  these 
celebrated  antiques  in  the  western  world. 

Lectures  are  annually  delivered  by  professors  of  paint- 
ing, of  sculpture,  of  anatomy,  of  perspective,  of  mytho- 
logy, of  historical  composition,  of  miniature  painting, 
of  history,  of  wood  engraving. 

The  annual  Exhibition  occurs  in  May,  and  consists  of

AMERICAN  BOARD  OF  COMMISSIONERS  FOR  FOREIGN  MISSIONS. 
(Instituted,  1810.   Agency  in  the  Brick  Church  Chapel.) 
The  object  of  the  Board  is  to  propagate  the  Gospel 
among  unevangelized  nations  and  communities,  by 
means  of  preachers,  catechists,  schoolmasters,  and  the 
press. 

The  Board  has  under  its  care  thirty-two  missions  and 
seventy-eight  stations ;  connected  with  which  are  one 
hundred  and  four  ordained  missionaries,  (seven  of  whom 
are  regularly  educated  physicians,  and  six  others  have 
prosecuted  medical  studies  to  such  an  extent  as  to  render 
them  highly  useful  in  that  capacity,)  nine  physicians  not 
ordained,  eight  printers,  thirty  teachers,  catechists,  far- 
mers and  mechanics,  and  one  hundred  and  fifty-seven 
married  and  unmarried  female  assistants;  making  a  to- 
tal of  three  hundred  and  eight  missionaries  and  assistant 
missionaries  sent  forth  from  this  country.  Four  native 
preachers  and  fifty-one  other  native  assistants,  employed 
principally  as  teachers,  are  also  laboring  at  the  several 
missions.  The  number  of  converts  received  to  the  forty- 
one  churches  under  the  care  of  the  missionaries  of  the 
Board  among  the  heathen,  since  their  organization,  is 
about  two  thousand  and  four  hundred,  and  the  present 
number  is  about  two  thousand  and  forty-seven.  At  the 
schools  established  among  the  heathen,  through  the 
agency  of  persons  sent  forth  by  the  Board,  and  taught  by 
them,  or  by  persons  to  a  greater  or  less  extent  under 
their  superintendence  and  direction,  not  less  than  eighty 
thousand  pupils  have  been  instructed  since  their  com- 
mencement, and  about  twenty-one  thousand  are  now  in 
a  course  of  instruction.  Connected  with  the  missions 
are  eight  printing  establishments,  including  fifteen 
presses,  at  which  and  at  other  presses  employed  by  the 
Board,  not  less  than  ninety  millions  of  pages  have  been 
printed,  in  sixteen  different  languages,  exclusive  of  the 
.fciglish.  The  languages  are  the  following: — Italian, 
Greek,  Armeno-Turkish,  Arabic,  Mahratta,  Tamul,

(Now  located  on  Staten  Island,  near  New  Brighton.)

Hill,  Broadway,  (now  Eighth  and  Ninth  streets,)  to  sup- 
port an  Asylum  for  aged  and  infirm  seamen.

ter  of  the  Episcopal  Church,  and  of  the  Presbyterian 
Church  in  Wall-street.  The  Trustees  applied  for  an  act 
of  incorporation,  which  was  granted  in  1H06  ;  but  the  in- 
tentions of  the  donor  were  not  carried  into  effect  till  a  few 
years  since,  when  inquiries  were  instituted  by  the  Legis- 
lature. In  1830  and  1831,  the  whole  of  the  Sailor's  Snug 
Harbour  estate,  from  Broadway  to  the  Fifth  Avenue,  and 
Washington  Square,  was  leased  out  in  house  lots  for 
twenty-one  years.  With  the  income  of  these  rents,  the 
Trustees  have  purchased  a  farm  of  nearly  one  hundred 
and  fifty  acres  of  fine  land,  on  the  north  side  of  Stateu 
Island,  half  a  mile  west  of  Nevv^-Brighton ;  they  have 
erected  a  large  and  convenient  building,  65  feet  by  100, 
where  fifty  or  sixty  disabled  seamen  find  a  snug  harbor 
for  life,  with  every  want  supplied,  and  laboring  only 
enough  for  their  health  and  comfort.  The  building  com- 
mands a  fine  view  of  the  Bay  of  New- York,  the  Hudson 
River,  and  Newark  Bay,  and  the  Philadelphia  steamboats 
pass  it  daily.  The  whole  of  the  Sailor's  Snug  Harbor 
property  is  now  supposed  to  b3  worth  a  millioxi  of  dollars. 

The  Trustees  of  this  Institution  report  to  the  Legisla- 
ture that  their  receipts  during  the  vear  1836  amounted  to 
S52,702  58,  and  their  expenditures"' to  850,766  19.  Their 
income  from  rents  for  1837  they  estimate  at  $33,265.

NEW-YORK  INSTITUTION  FOR  THE  INSTRUCTION  OF  THE  DEAF 
AND  DUMB. 
(Incorporated,  April,  1S17.) 

This  institution  commenced  operations  under  its  char- 
ter, by  opening  a  school  for  the  reception  of  pupils  on  the 
12ch  day  of  May. 1818.  Until  the  spring  of  18*29,  the  school 
\\-as  held  in  the  building  now  called  the  ]S'ew  City  Hall. 
At  that  time  the  pupils  were  transferred  to  a  large  building 
erected  for  the  purposes  of  the  institution,  on  Fiftieth- 
street  and  the  Fourth  Avenue,  three  and  a  half  miles  from 
the  City  Hall.  Communication  between  the  Institution 
and  the  city  is  rendered  ver^'easy,  by  the  cars  which  pass 
on  the  Harlaem  Rail  Road,  (Fourth  Avenue,)  every  fifteen 
or  twenty  minutes  in  both  direc'.ions. 

The  principal  building  occupied  for  the  purposes  of  the 
Institution,  is  one  hundred  and  ten  feet  by  sixty,  in  the 
dimensions  of  its  plan,  and  five  stories  in  height,  includ- 
ing the  basement.  It  accommodates,  with  some  inconve- 
nience, the  number  of  pupils  (about  one  hundred  and 
sixty)  which  the  Institution  embraces  at  present :  with  the 
teachers,  the  family  of  the  Principal,  and  such  other  per- 
sons as  are  needed  to  cxssist  in  conducting  the  afiairs  of 
the  establishment. 

The  original  charter  of  the  Institution  being  about  to 
expire  by  limitation  on  the  first  day  of  April,  1837,  it  was 
extended  by  the  Legislature,  in  the  spring  of  1836,  for  a 
period  of  twenty-five  years. 

The  number  of  pupils  who  were  members  of  the  Insti- 
tution in  1836, was  one  hundred  and  ninety-seven;  the  ac- 
tual number  present  on  the  first  day  of  Januar}'.  1837,  was 
one  hundred  and  sixty.  One  hundred  and  twenty  of  these 
are  supported  at  the  expense  of  the  State  of  New- York, 
seven  at  the  expense  of  the  State  of  N^ew- Jersey ;  four  by 
the  city  authorities,  one  by  the  Supervisors  of  the  county 
of  Dutchess,  five  by  the  funds  of  the  Institution,  and  the 
rest  by  their  parents  or  friends.

and  the  pupils  transferred  to  the  New- York  Institute. 
The  otal  number  of  admissions  at  Canajoharie,  was  149. 
Total  of  both  Institutions  637.  Of  these,  117  have  been 
members  of  both  schools,  or  more  than  once  admitted  to 
the  same.  Whence  the  number  of  deaf-mutes  who  have 
been  under  instruction  in  the  State,  to  January  1,  1837, 
was  520.   Of  these,  283  were  males,  and  238  females:

193  were  bora  deaf;  201  became  deaf  by  disease,  or  acci- 
dent early  in  life ;  of  117  the  causes  of  their  deafness  are 
unknown ;  and  9  were  b3th  deaf  from  birth,  and  incapable 
of  intellectual  improvement. 

There  are  at  present  one  hundred  and  forty  schools  for 
the  deaf  and  dumb  in  the  v\"orld.  There  are  five  in  Ame- 
rica, viz.  one  in  Hartford,  Conn. ;  one  in  Philadelphia, 
Penn. ;  one  in  Columb  is,  Ohio ;  one  in  Danville,  Ky.  ; 
and  the  New- York  Institution,  New-York  city.  Of  these 
the  New- York  Institution  is  considerably  the  largest. 
There  are  two  larger  institutions  only  of  the  kind  in  Eu- 
rope, viz.  the  Insiiiuiion  of  London, containing  230  pupils, 
and  the  Royal  Institution  of  Paris,  containing  175.  The 
National  Institution  at  Groningen,  Holland,  contains  the 
same  number  as  that  in  New- York,  viz.  160. 

According  to  the  census  of  1835,  the  number  of  per- 
sons deaf  and  dumb  in  the  State  of  New- York,  was  1070,  or 
one  to  every  2029  individuals.  There  is  great  reason, 
from  various  facts  in  possession  of  the  Institution,  to  sus- 
pect the  accuracy  of  the  returns.  A  more  just  estimate 
of  the  deaf  mute  population  of  the  State  would  be,  at  the 
smallest  computation,  1200,  probably  1300.  The  least 
number  named  would  give  one  deaf  mute  to  1800  persons. 
The  proportion  in  Europe  is  about  one  to  1550 ;  tnrough- 
out  the  world  one  to  1500. 

ORPHAN  ASYLUM. 
(Situated  at  BloomingdaJe.  Founded  in  1807.) 
Thirty  years  have  elapsed  since  this  charitable  institu- 
tion commenced  its  labours ;  and  during  that  period  of 
time  there  have  been  admitted  931  children;  of  whom 
411  boys  have  been  apprenticed  to  mechanics  and  farm- 
ers, 273  girls  to  trades,  and  as  servants  in  private  families, 
and  81  have  died.  Thirty  is  about  the  average  number 
3''early  bound  out,  and  about  the  same  number  is  yearly 
leceived.  Present  number  of  children  in  the  Asylum  is  173.

COLONIZATION  SOCIETY  OF  THE  CITY  OF  NEW- YORK. 
(Founded  in  1831.) 

Auxiliary  to  the  American  Colonization  Society,  in  con- 
veying to  Africa,  with  their  own  consent,  the  free  colour- 
ed persons  of  the  United  States. 

There  are  now  established  along  the  western  coast  of 
Africa,  by  American  ^philanthropists,  four  distinct  Colo- 
nies, supposed  to  contam  nearly  ten  thousand  inhabitants. 
In  these  are  included  the  villages  of  Monrovia,  Caldwell,. 
Millsburgh,  Marshall,  and  New^Georgia,  which  are  im- 
inedi?»tely  under  the  supervision  of  the  Parent  Society  at 
Washington.  The  next  settlement  in  order  along  the 
coast  is  Edina,  situated  near  to  the  River  St.  Jobn^s,  and 
probably  about  sixty  miles  south  of  Monrovia,   This  co-

lony  was  founded  by  the  Parent  Society  several  years 
since,  and  has  been  subject  to  their  jurisdiction  until  De- 
cember last,  when  it  was  ceded,  with  the  consent  of  the 
inhabitants,  to  the  associated  Colonization  Society  of  New 
York  and  Pennsylvania.  The  colony  at  Bassa  Cove  is 
situated  within  a  few  miles  south  of  Edina,  and  was 
planted  in  October,  1824,  under  the  united  patronage  of 
the  Societies  of  Pennsylvania  and  New- York,  and  is  re- 
inforced by  expeditions  sent  alternately  each  year  by  these 
institutions.  The  location  at  Bassa  Cove,  whether  we 
regard  fertilit}^  of  soil,  or  salubrity  of  climate,  or  the  com- 
modiousness  of  its  harbour,  is  not  perhaps  inferior  to  any 
other  on  the  coast  of  Africa  ;  and  it  is  expected  that  the 
contemplated  college  or  high  school  will  be  erected  in  that 
vicinity.  Cape  Palmos  lies  on  the  margin  of  the  ocean,  in 
a  southern  direction,  about  two  hundred  and  twenty  miles 
from  Monrovia.  The  colony  at  this  Cape  was  founded 
by  the  Colonization  Society  of  the  State  of  Maryland,  and 
they  mention  in  their  last  annual  report  that  "  three  years 
since  this  spot  was  a  wilderness,  with  untutored  savages 
for  its  inhabitants,  and  that  it  is  now  the  boast  of  the 
western  coast."  The  Colonization  Society  of  Missouri 
have  recently  purchased  an  intermediate  territory  be- 
tween Bassa  Cove  an-?  Cape  Palmas,  at  the  River  Sinon, 
and  expect  to  send  out  their  first  expedition  early  in 
April ;  the  Society  of  the  State  of  Louisiana  is  making 
similar  arrangements,  and  each  Association  has  resolved 
to  appropriate  twenty  thousand  dollars  a  year,  for  five 
years,  in  sustaining  their  respective  settlements  ;  and  the 
Colonization  Society  of  Virginia,  at  their  anniversary  in 
January  last,  adopted  a  resolution  to  establish,  "as  soon 
as  suitable  funds  can  be  obtained,"  a  colony  of  their  own, 
to  be  called  New- Virginia. 

In  these  various  establishments  there  are  now  about 
twenty  missionaries,  either  coloured  or  white,  Methodists, 
Baptists,  Episcopalians,  and  Presbyterians.  There  are 
also  schools  established  in  every  settlement  for  the  educa- 
tion of  the  children,  both  of  the  colonies  and  natives,  and 
various  printing  presses.  The  inhabitants  at  the  different 
stations  are  now  turning  their  attention  to  the  cultivation 
of  the  soil,  and  are  represented  in  general  as  temperate, 
industrious,  orderly,  and  rapidly  advancing  in  improve- 
ment, intellectual  and  moral.  At  the  various  settlements

a  large  proportion  of  the  colonists  are  professors  of  reli-

the  principle  of  entire  abstinence.  A  weekly  mail  was 
established  during  the  last  autumn  to  run  between  Bassa 
Cove  and  Monrovia.

According  to  its  constitution,  '*  the  object  of  this  Socie- 
ty is  the  entire  abolition  of  slavery  in  the  United  States. 
While  it  admits  that  each  s'ate,  in  which  slavery  exists, 
has,  by  the  Constitution  of  the  IJnited  States,  the  exclu- 
sive right  to  legislate  m  regard  to  its  abolition  in  said  state, 
it  shall  aim  to  convince  all  our  fellow-citizens,  by  argu- 
ments addressed  to  their  understandings  and  consciences, 
that  slave-holding  is  a  heinous  crime  in  the  sight  of  God, 
and  that  the  duty,  safety,  and  best  interests  of  all  con- 
cerned, require  its  immediate  ahandonment^  without  expa- 
triation. The  Society  will  also  endeavor,  in  a  constitu- 
tional way,  to  influence  Congress  to  put  an  end  to  the 
domestic  slave-trade,  and  to  abolish  slavery  in  all  those 
portions  of  our  common  country,  which  come  under  its 
control,  especially  in  the  District  of  Columbia,  and  like- 
wise to  prevent  the  extension  of  it  to  any  state  that  may  be 
hereafter  admitted  to  the  Union." 

It  has  nine  state,  and  about  one  thousand  minor  auxili-

AMUSEMENTS. 


THE  AMERICAN  THEATRE. 
(Bowery,  between  Bayard  and  Walker  streets.) 

Was  erected  in  1826,  and  opened  October  16,  1826, 
within  six  months  from  the  time  the  building  was  com- 
menced. It  was  burnt  in  May,  1828,  and  immediately 
afterwards  rebuilt,  and  re-opened  in  August,  1828. 
Again  burnt  down  Sept.  22,  1836  ;  rebuilt  and  finished, 
January,  1837.  The  new  building  is  one  of  the  finest 
specimens  of  Doric  architecture  in  the  City ;  the  front 
being  constructed  after  the  model  of  the  Temple  of  Mi- 
nerva at  Athens.  The  interior  is  elegant,  and  fitted  up 
in  a  superior  style.  The  building  is  75  feet  front  on  the 
Bowery,  and  the  depth  to  Elizabetli-street  is  175  feet ; 
height  of  the  building  to  the  cornice,  58  feet.  The  Pit

dome  and  proscenium  are  all  practicable,  and  can  be 
lowered  in  half  an  hour  ;  the  side  proscenium,  including 
the  balcony  boxes,  are  so  constructed  that,  by  a  piece  of 
ingenious  machinery,  they  can  in  an  instant  be  moved 
back  so  as  to  throw  open  the  entire  stage  for  pro- 
cessions, &c. 

Prices  of  admission — Boxes,  75  cents  ;  Pit,  37J  cents  ; 
Gallery,  25  cents. 

W.  Dinneford,  Manager.

This  Theatre,  recently  erected,  was  first  opened  in' 
1835.  It  is  pleasantly  situated  in  Chatham-square,  near 
the  corner  of  James-street,  and  is  a  popular  and  much 
frequented  place  of  amusement.

MUSEUMS. 

AMERICAN  Ml'SEUM. 
(Opposite  St.  Paul's  Church,  Broadway.) 

This  excellent  institution  was  founded  in  1810,  by  the 
late  John  Scudder,  by  whose  arduous  efforts,  and  the 
persevering  exertions  of  its  more  recent  proprietors,  it 
nas  arose  to  its  present  high  standing.  It  continues 
daily  to  improve  in  every  department,  by  extensive  and 
valuable  additions  of  the  works  of  Nature  and  artificial 
curiosities,  from  all  parts  of  the  world.  Its  immense  col- 
lections are  well  arranged  and  beautifully  displayed  in 
four  spacious  Saloons,  each  one  hundred  feet  in  length  ; 
in  addition  to  which  another  apartment  has  recently 
been  added  of  still  larger  dimensions.  The  Grand  Cos- 
morama  of  this  establishment  is  truly  a  most  splendid 
affair,  which  for  extent  of  glasses  and  magnificence  of 
views,  is  not  surpassed  in  this  or  any  other  country. 
The  views  embrace  a  great  variety  of  subjects,  and  were 
all  executed  expressly  by  Italian  artists  of  eminence  in 
their  profession.  No  labour  or  expense  has  been  spared 
to  render  this  establishment  well  deserving  a  continuance 
of  that  liberal  and  distinguished  patronage  it  has  always 
received.    The  building  is  very  high,  and  from  its  ob- 


226 


EATHS. 


servatory  may  be  enjoyed  some  of  the  finest  views  in  the 
City,  and  of  the  beautiful  bay  and  surrounding  country. 
The  halls  are  well  warmed  and  ventilated,  and  at  even- 
ing brilliantly  lighted  with  gas,  altogether  forming  a 
very  inviting  agreeable  lounge,  and  at  the  same  time,  a 
place  for  serious  contemplation  and  amusement,  to  those 
who  delight  in  the  study  of  the  wonderful  works  of 
Nature. 

Admittance,  25  cents — children,  half  price. 

peale's  museum  and  gallery  of  fine  arts. 
(Broadway,  opposite  the  Park.) 
This  establishment  was  founded  in  the  year  1825,  and 
has  increased  with  astonishing  rapidity.  It  contains  four 
spacious  apartments,  which  are  arranged  in  the  follow- 
ing order:  The  1st  contains  specimens  of  Natural  His- 
tory in  all  its  branches,  and  for  beauty  of  arrangement, 
and  the  exquisite  style  in  which  the  articles  are  mounted, 
renders  it  one  of  the  most  interesting  places  of  public 
amusement  in  the  country.  The  2d  is  a  large  and  va- 
luable collection  of  Paintings,  by  eminent  artists,  amongst 
which  may  be  particularly  mentioned  a  Portrait  of  Na- 
poleon, by  Le  Fevre  ;  a  Magdalen,  by  Le  Pron,  together 
with  Portraits  of  at  least  150  celebrated  citzens  and  fo- 
reigners. The  3d  contains  a  very  superior  Cosmorama, 
several  Wax  Figures  of  good  workmanship.  Fossils, 
Shells,  Minerals,  and  Miscellaneous  Curiosities.  It 
would  be  impossible  to  enumerate  the  principal  articles  of 
interest  in  the  establishment,  but  it  would  be  unjust  to 
the  enterprising  proprietor,  not  to  name  the  Eg}^ptian 
Mummy,  the  tatooed  head  of  a  New  Zealand  Chief,  and 
the  living  Anaconda,  all  of  which  have  been  procured 
at  a  very  great  expense.  The  4th  is  a  Lecture  Room,  in 
which,  during  each  evening  throughout  the  year,  a  suc- 
cession of  interesting  amusements  take  place. 


BATHS. 

The    principal   Baths,  for   the  accommodation  of 
strangers  and  citizens,  are  the  following : 
Arcade  Bath,  39  Chambers-street. 
Washington  Bath,  533  Pearl-street. 
Besides  many  others  of  less  note. 


FASHIONABLE  RESORTS. 


227 


The  sea  water  Baths  are  conveniently  arranged,  and 
are  much  frequented  during  warm  weather.  The  prin- 
cipal Baths  are  at  the  Battery,  and  near  Murray-street, 
on  the  North  River. 


FASHIONABLE  RESORTS. 

In  the  City,  and  its  vicinity,  are  numerous  places  of 
resort,  where  the  citizen  and  stranger  may  retire  from 
the  bustle  of  the  City,  and  the  fatigues  of  business. 

THE  BATTERY. 

This  beautiful  promenade  is  situated  at  the  south-w^est 
end  of  the  island,  and  junction  of  the  North  and  East 
Rivers,  and  possesses  attractions  unsurpassed,  perhaps, 
by  any  other  similar  place  of  resort  in  the  world,  justly 
commanding  the  admiration  of  every  visiter.  It  is  in  full 
view  of  the  bay  and  surrounding  scenery  of  Long  Island, 
Staten  Island,  New  Jersey,  and  the  islands  in  the  har- 
bour. From  no  one  point  can  a  better  idea  be  formed  of 
the  magnitude  of  the  commerce  of  the  Ciiy.  The  nu- 
merous ships,  steamboats,  and  small  vessels,  that  are 
constantly  entering  and  departing  from  the  port,  forming 
a  scene  of  stirring  interest.  Of  the  bay  itself,  we  deem  it 
appropriate  in  this  place  to  quote  the  language  of  a  late 
English  tourist. 

"  I  have  never  seen  the  bay  of  Naples,  I  can  therefore 
make  no  comparison  ;  but  my  imagination  is  incapable 
of  conceiving  any  thing  more  beautiful  than  the  harbour 
of  New-York.  Various  and  l:)vely  are  the  objects  which 
meet  the  eye  on  every  side  ;  but  the  naming  them  would 
only  be  to  give  a  list  of  words,  without  conveying  the 
faintest  idea  of  the  scene.  I  doubt  if  even  the  pencil  of 
Turner  could  do  it  justice,  bright  and  glorious  as  it  rose 
upon  us.  We  seemed  to  enter  the  harbour  of  New- 
York  upon  waves  of  liquid  gold ;  and  as  we  dashed  past 
the  green  isles  which  rise  from  its  bosom  like  guardian 
sentinels  of  the  fair  City,  the  setting  sun  stretched  his 
horizontal  beams  further  and  further,  at  each  moment,  as 
if  to  point  out  to  us  some  new  glory  in  the  landscape." 

The  Battery  extends  somewhat  in  the  form  of  a  ores-

cent,  from  the  termination  of  Broadway,  Greenwich, 
and  Washington  streets,  on  the  north-west,  to  Whitehall- 
street,  on  the  east,  covering  an  area  of  nearly  11  acres, 
and  laid  out  in  grass-plots  and  gravel  walks,  shaded  with 
trees.  The  exterior,  fronting  the  harbour,  is  built  up 
with  hewn  stone  ;  and  on  this  side  is  a  paved  walk,  with 
stone  posts  connected  with  a  neat  open  railing.  An  ex- 
pensive iron  railing,  with  gateways,  extends  along  the 
interior  front. 

This  favourite  promenade  was  originally  a  fortifica- 
tion, thrown  up  by  the  Dutch,  and  planted  with  cannon, 
from  which  circumstance  it  derives  its  name.  Its  baunds 
have  been  much  enlarged  by  filling  in^  and  for  many 
years  it  has  been  used  as  a  public  walk,  and  constantly 
fanned  as  it  is  by  the  breezes  of  the  ocean,  no  more 
agreeable  and  healthful  retreat,  from  the  heat  of  the  City, 
can  be  found  during  the  summer  months. 

CASTLE  GARDEN. 

On  a  mole,  connected  with  the  Battery  by  a  bridge,  is 
situated  Castle  Garden,  originally  erected  for  a  fortifica- 
tion, and  used  for  that  purpose  until  1823,  when  it  was 
ceded  by  the  United  States  to  the  Corporation  of  this 
City,  since  which  it  has  been  leased  for  a  place  of  public 
amusement  or  recreation.  On  the  top  of  the  walls,  a 
walk,  covered  by  an  awning,  has  been  constructed,  from 
whence  a  fine  view  of  the  harbour  and  adjacent  scenery 
is  obtained.  Within  the  walls  over  ten  thousand  people 
may  be  accommodated,  and  concerts  and  fire  worts  are 
occasionally  given. 

VAUXHALL  GARDEN 

Is  situated  near  the  junction  of  the  Bowery  and  Broad- 
way, fronting  on  the  former,  and  was  formerly  a  place  of 
great  resort  in  summer.  On  the  evenings  of  public 
days,  fire  works  and  other  entertainments  were  exhibit- 
ed ;  but  by  the  late  improvements  in  that  part  of  the  city, 
particularly  by  the  extension  of  Lafayette-Place  through 
the  Garden,  its  dimensions  have  been  much  lessened,, 
and  its  attractions  weakened.

NIBLO'S  GARDEN, 

(Corner  of  Broadway  and  Prince-street  ) 
Is  one  of  the  most  fashionable  places  of  resort  in  the 
city,  during  the  summer  months.  It  has  been  laid  out 
with  great  taste,  and  when  open  to  the  public,  is  hand- 
somely lighted,  and  decorated  with  paintings,  mirrors, 
&c.  The  walks  are  bordered  with  shrubbery  and  flow- 
ers in  great  variety.  Fire  works  are  occasionally  exhi- 
bited; and  in  the  saloon,  which  is  avery  tasteful  and  airy 
building,  theatrical  and  musical  entertainments  are  given.

ON  THE  ISLAND  OF  NEW-YORK  AND  ITS  YICINJTY. 

Harlem  and  Yorkville  ;  the  conveyance  to  the  above 
places  on  the  island  of  New-York,  are  both  frequent  and 
reasonable,  either  by  the  Macadamized  road  on  the  Third 
Avenue,  or  on  the  Rail-road.  The  Harlaem  Rail-road, 
commences  in  the  Bo'very,  near  Prince-street,  and  runs 
along  the  Fourth  Avenue  to  Harlaem,  a  distance  of  7^ 
miles.  Cars  run  on  it  constantly,  stopping  whenever 
any  of  the  passengers  wish  to  get  out ;  usual  fare,  12^ 
cents. 

Bloomingdale  and  Manhatt^nville,  on  the  Island,  are 
also  places  of  great  attraction ;  the  roads  are  good,  and 
besides  private  conveyances,  stages  leave  the  Bowery, 
corner  of  Bayard*street,  several  times  a  day  for  both  of 
the  above  places. 

Islands,  contiguous  to  New-York,  and  under  the  juris- 
diction of  the  City  authorities  are  Governor's,  Bedlow's, 
and  Ellis's  Islands,  in  the  Hudson  River,  included  in  the

Blackwell's  Island  belongs  to  the  city,  on  which  is  situ-

HoBOKEN,  New- Jersey,  opposite  New-York^  where  the 
North  River  is  about  a  mile  and  a  half  wide^  is  a  fa- 
vourite resort  for  the  citizens  during  the  summer. 
Steam  ferry-boats  run  from  Barclay-street  and  Canal- 
street,  New- York,  to  this  place,  once  in  every  twenty 
minutes  or  half  hour,  during  the  day ;  and  the  fare,  in 
summer,  is  but  6J  cents.  Near  the  ferry  is  a  public 
house,  in  front  of  which  is  a  fine  lawn,  where  seats  are 
provided  for  visiters  to  enjoy  the  cool  breezes  which 
prevail  during  the  warmest  weather,  and  the  fine  pros- 
pect which  the  place  commands  of  the  city  and  harbour 
— north  of  the  house  there  is  a  circular  railway,  on 
which  are  carriages  propelled  by  the  passengers  for  ex- 
ercise and  amusement.  The  grounds  along  the  river, 
for  more  than  a  mile,  are  the  property  of  the  Messrs. 
Steven'i,  who  permit  a  free  public  access  to  them. 
From  the  lawn  a  shaded  gravel  walk  extends  on  the 
elevated  and  rocky  bank  of  the  river  for  about  a  mile,  at 
the  termination  of  which  is  a  grove,  called  the  Elysian 
Fields^  where  a  handsome  Pavilion  ha.-^  been  erected, 
and  from  whence  is  a  fine  view  of  the  North  River  and 
the  opposite  city.  An  excavntion  has  recently  been  made 
in  the  solid  rock  under  the  bluff  about  one  mile  north  of 
Hoboken,  near  the  river,  which  attracts  considerable 
attention,  il  is  appropriately  named  the  SybiVs  Cave. 

Bull's  Ferry,  6^  miles,  and  Fort  Lee,  10  miles  north 
of  the  City,  on  the  Jersey  shore,  are  both  much  frequent- 
ed during  the  summer  months  ;  Steamboats  leave  for  the 
above  places  almost  hourly,  from  the  foot  of  Canal-street, 
afibrding  a  cheap  and  pleasant  excursion. 

City  of  Brooklyn.  From  Brooklyn  Heights,  which 
overlooks  the  East  River,  and  part  of  the  City  of  New- 
York,  is  one  of  the  most  stirring  views  imaginable — the 
junction  of  the  North  and  East  Rivers,  the  fortified 
Islands  in  the  vicinity,  and  the  shipping  in  the  harbour, 
are  all  in  full  view. 

The  United  States  Navy  Yard  is  on  the  east  side  of 
Brooklyn,  on  the  Wallabout  Bay;  where  visitors  can 
easily  obtain  admission.  Brooklyn,  although  not  pos- 
sessing many  attractions  to  the  stranger,  is  fast  increas- 
ing in  wealth  and  numbers  ;  the  increase  in  real  estate

within  the  last  iew  years  is  unparalleled.  The  whole  of 
the  unsettled  part  of  the  city  is  about  being  surveyed  and 
laid  out  into  streets  and  avenues  similar  to  the  Island  of 
New-York.  The  Long-Island  Rail-road  commences  at 
Brooklyn,  and,  wlien  finished,  will  extend  to  Greenport, 
a  distance  of  about  100  miles. 

The  village  of  Williamsburgh,  in  the  town  of  Bush- 
wick,  Long  Island,  is  siiuaied  on  the  East  River,  (950 
yards  wide.)  opposite  < 'orlaer's  Hook,  and  has  intercourse 
with  the  city  of  New-York  by  ferries  from  the  foot  of 
Grand-street  and  Peck-slip.  It*^is  fast  becoming  a  place  of 
importance,  being  contiguous  to  New-York  and  Brooklyn. 
At  present  there  are  noi  many  attractions  for  strangers  or 
citizens  as  a  place  of  resort,  but  it  is  susceptable  of  great 
improvements.  Stages  start  twice  a  day  for  Newtown  and 
Flushing,  and  the  turnpike  to  Jamaica,  leaves  the  village 
from  North  Second-street, 

Flatbush,  five  miles  from  New-York,  is  a  delightful 
place  of  residence  ;  it  is  the  seai.  of  Erasmus  Hall  Acade- 
my, and  Avas  the  scene  of  a  sanguinary  battle  between 
the  British  and  Americans  in  1716.  The  spirit  of  im- 
provement has,  in  the  rapid  progress  it  is  now  making, 
reached  this  delightful  spot — a  softer  landscape  than  it 
presents  is  rarely  met  with.  Its  surface  is  an  inclined 
plane,  fifty  feet  above  the  level  of  the  ocean,  to  which  it 
has  a  regular  and  gradual  descent.  The  air  about  it  is 
tempered  by  the  sea  I'reeze,  and  its  salubrity  is  almost 
proverbial. 

Fort  Hamilton,  situated  at  the  Narrows,  is  also  a  de- 
lightful place  of  residence  ;  being  in  sight  of  the  ocean,  it 
commands  a  view  of  all  the  shipping  leaving  and  enter- 
ing the  harbour  of  New-York. 

Bath,  in  the  town  of  New-Utrecht,  Long  Island,  nine 
miles  south  of  Brookhn,  is  a  favourite  place  of  resort 
for  sea  bathing.  Here  is  a  well  kept  public  house,  with 
a  lawn  fronting  the  bay,  well  shaded  with  trees,  where 
the  breezes  of  the  ocean  may  be  enjoyed  during  the  heat 
of  summer.  This  is  the  nearest  watering  place  to  New 
York;  new  accommodations  have  recently  been  erected 
which  are  within  a  short  distance  of  the  beach,  and  com- 
mand a  most  beautiful  prospect  of  the  ocean. 

At  Coney  Island,  which  is  three  miles  from  Bath,  and 
is  joined  to  Long  Island  by  abridge  across  a  narrow  inlet, 


232

is  a  fine  beach  for  bathing,  with  a  public  house,  and  other 
conveniences.  A  rail-road  is  attached  to  the  establish- 
ment, with  cars  leaving  the  hotel  for  the  beach,  a  dis- 
tance of  eighty  rods,  every  few  minutes,  during  the  sum- 
mer season.  The  bathing  at  this  place  is  not  surpassed 
by  any  in  the  United  States.  The  beach  is  white  and 
hard. 

Jamaica,  on  Long  Island,  is  a  beautiful  and  flourishing 
town ;  having  a  village  of  the  same  name,  eleven  miles 
from  Brooklyn,  which  is  a  place  of  importance,  being 
the  county  town  for  Clueen's  County,  and  connected  with 
Brooklyn  by  a  rail-road,  now  in  successful  operation. 
The  Long  Island  Rail  Road,  when  completed,  will  make 
a  continual  road  to  Greenport,  L.  I.,  a  distance  of  about 
one  hundred  miles.  The  Union  Race  Course  is  situated 
at  the  west  end  of  Jamaica,  about  seven  miles  from  Brook- 
lyn, between  the  turnpike  and  Rail-road,  and  is  a  place  of 
great  attraction  during  the  spring  and  fall  races.  Eight 
miles  from  Jamaica  is 

RocKAWAY,  on  the  Atlantic  Ocean,  20  miles  from  New- 
York.  This  is  a  favourite  resort  for  sea  bathing ;  the 
fine  beach  affording  great  advantages  for  that  purpose. 
A  splendid  hotel  (the  Marine  Pavilion)  has  been  recently 
erected  at  this  place;  it  is  230  feet  in  front,  3  stories  in 
height,  with  two  wings,  and  two  magnificent  piazzas;  the 
front  one  extending  the  whole  length  of  the  mansion,  20 
feet  in  width,  ornamented  with  28  Grecian  columns.  The 
rear  piazza  extends  from  one  wing  to  the  other,  a  distance 
of  150  feet.  From  the  front  is  an  unrivalled  view  of  the 
Atlantic  Ocean,  and  the  numerous  shipping  passing 
Sandy  Hook,  to  and  from  the  Harbour  of  New- York. 

Statkn  Island  has  long  been  a  favourite  place  of  re- 
sort. Steamboats  leave  several  times  during  the  day, 
from  Whitehall-dock,  and  from  piers  No.  1  and  4,  north 
side  of  the  Battery,  for  the  Quarantine  Ground,  Tomp- 
kinsville,  New  Brighton,  and  other  places  on  the  island.
